Roman Sculptor

Tabletop with central interlaced Motif

Early XVII century. Alabaster, Jasper, Lapis lazuli, Paragone

This is rare type of tabletop that combines Roman Mannerist elements such as the border with pre-Baroque ones such as the exuberant floral and foliate motif that fills the centre. This motif replaces the central alabaster oval to be found in other compositions.
